Dean Phillips would have won

Hell, I think even Witmer would have won

We're a racist country, to a lesser degree sexist

[-] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 3 points 6 hours ago

I'm not sure that we are more racist than sexist. We had a black president, who even got elected to 2 terms. We have yet to have a woman.

Either way, awful.

If George Clooney was the democratic nominee, he would have won easily.

[-] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 minutes ago

yeah, but George Clooney has multiple oscars.

I've been thinking this for a while now. Nothing gets people more excited than a celebrity, and Trump is proof of that. Dems definitely need to fight back with a classically "alpha" seeming white male celebrity to fight back.

Bro if I was the nominee, I would have won. No doubt about it. It would have been a landslide victory. It would look like the Reagan victory from his first term.

I am genuinely disgusted at how this could even happen like this. He got the popular vote? By 5 million?

[-] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 4 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, it wasn't even the electoral college fucking us. He straight up won, by a significant amount too.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

He's lost at everything in his life, despite trying so much and having every advantage. At a certain point the law of large numbers has to kick in.

And the one time he does it's because of nazis lol. Still not really a victory.

Oh its worse then that.

Just winning would be bad, but with the popular vote that is a mandate.

Having a clear mandate would be very bad but the house/senate would both need to go red to be able to execute the sort of mandate promised. You know that thing that also happened.

It's going to take awhile to correctly process this

Many terrible things are coming, but my heart is aching for Ukraine this morning...

[-] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 3 points 6 hours ago

The list of people fucked by this is pretty long.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Maybe they could get together all across the world to undo it.

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 12 points 11 hours ago

And Gaza and Lebanon.
